                 BIOCONTROL TECHNOLOGY, INC.
                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The   accompanying   consolidated  financial   statements   of
Biocontrol  Technology,  Inc. (the "Company")  and  its  89.9%
owned   subsidiary,  Coraflex,  Inc.,  and   its   52%   owned
subsidiary,  Diasense,  Inc., and its  67%  owned  subsidiary,
Petrol  Rem, Inc., and its 99.1% owned subsidiary, IDT,  Inc.,
and its 58.4% owned subsidiary, ICTI, Inc., have been prepared
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting  principles
for  interim  financial information, and with the instructions
to  Form 10-Q and Rule 10-O Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they
do  not  include all of the information and footnotes required
by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  complete
financial  statements.   In  the opinion  of  management,  all
adjustments   (consisting   of  normal   recurring   accruals)
considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have   been
included.   For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes included in the  Company's
annual  report  on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1998.

NOTE B - Net Loss Per Common Share

Net  loss  per common share is based on the average number  of
outstanding  common  shares.  The  loss  per  share  does  not
include  common  stock equivalents since the effect  would  be
anti-dilutive.  The weighted average shares used to  calculate
the  loss  per share for the period ending June 30, 1999,  and
June 30, 1998, were 535,289,451 and 202,083,594, respectively.

NOTE C - Stockholders Equity

During  the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company raised
$19,361,418  in  connection with its  public  offering.   (See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis").

The  Company's  common  stock is currently  traded  on  the
electronic bulletin board.

NOTE D - Goodwill

The  company  recognized $5,310,501 of goodwill in  connection
with  a  Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 20,  1998  to
acquire  58.4%  of  International Chemical Technologies,  Inc.
For  purposes  of  amortizing this  goodwill,  Management  has
determined  a  useful life of 5 years.  In the  quarter  ended
June  30,  1999, management recorded a charge of  $  2,000,000
based upon a reevaluation of goodwill.

NOTE E - Legal Proceedings

During  April 1998, the Company and its affiliates were served
with  subpoenas  by the U.S. Attorneys' office  for  the  U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.   The
subpoenas   requested   certain   corporate,   financial   and
scientific  documents  and the Company  continues  to  provide
documents in response to such requests.

On  April  30, 1996, a class action lawsuit was filed  against
the  Company,  Diasense,  Inc., and  individual  officers  and
directors.   The  suit,  captioned  Walsingham  v.  Biocontrol
Technology,etal., has been certified as a class action, and is
pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania.   The  suit  alleges misleading  disclosures  in
connection  with  the  Noninvasive Glucose  Sensor  and  other
related  activities  which  the  company  denies.   By  mutual
agreement  of  the parties, the suit remains in the  pre-trial
pleading  stage,  and the Company is unable to  determine  the
outcome or its impact upon the Company at this time.

NOTE F -  Year 2000 Issue

The  Company  is  currently working to resolve  the  potential
impact  of  the  Year 2000 on the processing of date-sensitive
information.   The Year 2000 Issue is the result  of  computer
programs being written using two digits (rather than four)  to
define the applicable year.  Programs which are susceptible to
problems  after December 31, 1999 are those which recognize  a
date  using  "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year  2000,
which  could  result  in miscalculations or  system  failures.
Based upon a review of its own internal programs and software,
the  Company  currently believes that the Year 2000  will  not
pose  significant  operational  problems  to  its  information
systems,  because  such  systems  are  already  compliant.  In
addition,  ChaseMellon  Shareholder  Services,  the  Company's
transfer  agent,  has  disclosed that it  will  be  Year  2000
compliant and that no interruptions in service will occur. The
Company's  common  stock currently trades  on  the  electronic
bulletin board; Nasdaq and its parent, the NASD, have analyzed
their  products  and systems; are addressing their  Year  2000
issues; and are implementing a plan to test their systems  and
to  remediate any Year 2000 problems.  As of this date, Nasdaq
has not made a definitive statement regarding when it will  be
compliant,  but  has  stated that it is making  all  necessary
changes   to  its  trading  systems.   The  Company's  current
estimates  indicate  that  the costs of  addressing  potential
problems  are not expected to have a material impact upon  the
Company's  financial position, results of operations  or  cash
flows  in future periods.  There can be no assurance, however,
that  modifications to information systems  which  impact  the
Company  and which are required to remediate year 2000  issues
will  be  made  on  a  timely basis and  that  they  will  not
adversely affect the Company's systems or operations.


 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                       and Cash Flows


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash  increased  from  $ 125,745 at December  31,  1998  to  $
10,336,030 as of June 30, 1999 attributable to proceeds  of  $
19,361,418  from  the  Company's public offering  and  to  the
Company's $ 8,576,820 net operating expenditures.

During  the  second quarter, three of the Company's  officers,
Fred  E. Cooper, Anthony J. Feola and Glenn Keeling, converted
their  outstanding amounts due to the Company to  term  loans.
Repayments to the Company began in May 1999.


Results of Operations

Sales  during  the second quarter decreased from  $475,736  in
1998 to $51,108 in 1999 and decreased for the six-month period
from  $933,441 in 1998 to $78,428 in 1999. The decreases  were
due to the discontinuation of the Companys FES project.


Interest  income  increased during  the  second  quarter  from
$15,116 in 1998 to $34,052 in 1999 and increased for the  six-
month  period  from $60,594 in 1998 to $60,758 in  1999.   The
fluctuations  were  due  to  the  Company's  varying   amounts
available to invest in each of those periods.

Costs  of  Products  Sold during the second quarter  decreased
from $229,880 in 1998 to $66,572 in 1999 and decreased for the
six  month period from $498,860 in 1998 to $132,991  in  1999.
The  decreases  were primarily due to the  suspension  of  FES
activities.

Research  and  Development expenses during the second  quarter
increased  from $1,360,098 in 1998 to $1,410,914 in  1999  and
decreased for the six month period from $4,013,632 in 1998  to
$2,154,759  in 1999.  The second quarter increase was  due  to
additional activity in connection with the sensor project.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses during the second
quarter  increased from $4,058,399 in 1998  to  $5,688,833  in
1999 and increased for the six month period from $5,937,153 in
1998  to  $8,132,276 in 1999.  The increase from 1998 to  1999
was due to goodwill expenses related to the ICTI acquisition.

During  1999,  the Company revisited its ICTI  operations  and
determined  that  the  product may  not  exhibit  all  of  the
properties needed for commercial success.  In connection  with
such  analysis,  the  Company deiscovered a  different  metal-
coating  process which may have the potential to succeed,  and
is  pursuing the feasibility of manufacturing and selling that
product.  As a result, the Company has begun to write down the
goodwill associated with the ICTI purchase.



Interest expense during the second quarter decreased from
$112,851 in 1998 to $53,490 in 1999 and decreased for the six
month period from $205,658 in 1998 to $194,253 in 1999.  The
decreases were due to the Company's efforts in acquiring
capital through 4% convertible debentures and to Notes Payable
in connection with the acquisition of ICTI.
